This is an amazing dress. From start to finish the pattern covers all parts of construction easily. Pattern features layers which allow for saved paper, less ink use, less cluttered printed pages and most importantly meshing of sizes. From tops to knee dress with short or long sleeves this pattern covers it all.

Perfect dress that can be worn everyday! The added detail of the band and bow is a sweet touch but my daughter can still wear this dress to school and play. The band and bow are also a great scrap buster when you have just a tiny bit of your favorite fabric to show off. And with different sleeve and skirt lengths you can easily make multiples yet each look unique! It was an easy sew though it looks very professional. Can’t wait to sew up a few more!

Detailed instructions and illustrations makes this a really fast and easy sew with great looking results. It’s a go-to pattern for us now for top and dresses

My girl loves this dress so much. Her grandma has asked for a matching one. It’s so gorgeous and pairs with the bow tie leggings so nicely. Instructions are so simple to follow. Save on ink by only printing the size you need.

I knew my daughter would love this dress the moment I saw it available. I was right. She picked out the fabric for the skirt part and we upcycled a woman’s dress into this for her. She doesn’t want to take it off. The instructions were clear and pattern easy to assemble. Thank you!

This is a great pattern! I’m really impressed with the quality of both the pattern and the finished piece, definitely a few steps above most out there. The construction is beautiful, and my girls LOVE their new dresses!

This dress is so cute! It was very easy to make and I’m gaining confidence in sewing with knits. The fabric I bought has girls riding bicycles on it and it is directional. Oops. I had to cut the fabric and turn one side around and make side seams in the circle skirt so the back wouldn’t be totally upside down. It worked beautifully. I can’t wait to make it again.

Really cute and my two five year old granddaughters love them. I have made 10. These girls have no protruding bellies but the front tends to sit higher than the back making the hem dip lower at the back. Some were worse than others; maybe the amount of stretch in the bodice fabric makes it worse. There is too much fabric across back and sleeve cap at the back is too wide. The sleeves are way too wide.
